Wild police chase reaches its finale at an Alhambra school’s campus

A man led police Friday on a chase in a stolen car from Los Angeles to Alhambra, where he ran onto the campus of Mark Keppel High School and was arrested.

Los Angeles Police Department officers began chasing the Honda in their jurisdiction late Friday morning. The driver sped from police on surface streets, at times going an estimated 75 mph and nudging other vehicles out of the way at intersections.

About 12:15 p.m., the man drove onto the eastbound San Bernardino (10) Freeway. A couple of minutes later, he stopped on the right shoulder and climbed over a fence and onto the high school campus in the 500 block of East Hellman Avenue, where authorities quickly took him into custody about 12:20 p.m., according to the Monterey Park Police Department.

The suspect’s name was not immediately released.
